Chapter 704 Struggling Hard
Unexpectedly rejected, Marlon immediately flew into a rage.
"Grace, let me give you a piece of advice: know your place and don't be ungrateful."
"You should consider yourself lucky that I'm interested in you. Do you think many men would want a woman like you?"
Without hesitation, Grace picked up the glass on the table and splashed a glass of cold water right in Marlon's face.
"Get out!"
Marlon wiped the water off his face and sneered, "Grace, have you thought about the consequences? If I leave this room now, you'll definitely face retribution tomorrow."
"Get out now!" Grace shouted angrily.
"Grace, I've changed my mind. I'm staying here tonight. I'm not leaving."
"Shameless."
"Same to you. You're not much better than me. Don't think I have any idea how you got your position. Those men were old and ugly, and you lowered yourself. In terms of looks and body, I'm way better than them."
With that, Marlon suddenly turned sinister and lunged at her like a madman.
Luckily, Grace reacted quickly.
She grabbed the chair next to her, pressing its leg against Marlon's chest with one hand and picking up a fruit knife with the other.
The sharp tip of the knife gleamed menacingly.
"Marlon, get out now."
"If you dare stay here, I guarantee you'll pay with blood."
To her surprise, Marlon was even more shameless and bold than she had imagined.
He stood there calmly, without a trace of fear.
Marlon even smiled, "Grace, it's just a knife. Do you think I'm scared?"
"Getting stabbed by a beauty like you ten times wouldn't scare me."
This statement broke Grace's mental defense.
Taking advantage of the moment, Marlon moved behind her, one hand choking her neck and the other grabbing her wrist.
The knife fell from her hand to the ground.
In an instant, the situation reversed.
Grace's hands were pinned by Marlon. Standing behind her, his voice in her ear was like a venomous snake.
"Now, let's see what other tricks you have."
"Grace, I advise you to behave. Don't worry, I'll be gentle with you."
"Besides, being with me only has benefits, no downsides."
Grace fought to suppress her disgust.
Suddenly, she seized the moment, lifting her foot and stomping her stiletto heel onto Marlon's foot.
Instantly, Marlon screamed in pain.
"Grace, I was being gentle with you, but you didn't want it. Now see if I..."
At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Grace, are you there? Open the door."
Why was Mark here?
Marlon quickly covered Grace's mouth, preventing her from making any sound.
Without a response, Mark's voice grew more anxious.
"Grace, answer me!"
"Grace."
Mark kept calling, while Marlon, enduring the pain, threatened, "Shut up. You better not make a sound."
Grace glared at him angrily.
Suddenly, she used all her strength.
She lifted both feet, one kicking Marlon hard and the other knocking over a chair, creating a loud noise.
"Mark, help me!"
Taking advantage of the moment, Grace shouted.
From the sound of the chair, Mark realized something was off inside.
Mark immediately called the front desk, asking them to bring a room key.
At the same time, he pounded on the door, shouting, "Marlon, I advise you to calm down and not act rashly."
"If you dare hurt her, I will make you pay."
Knowing Mark was alerted, Marlon went completely mad.
Marlon no longer worried about making noise. He grabbed Grace, his face showing a vicious look, and his right hand choked her neck even harder.
"Grace, you crazy woman, ungrateful."
"I gave you a chance. I told you not to scream."
"Why didn't you listen?"
Marlon's eyes were bloodshot, shouting uncontrollably.
"Why did you have to scream? Do you want to ruin me?"
"Grace, I'm telling you, if anything happens to me, I'll take someone down with me, even if it costs me my life."
Grace frantically slapped Marlon's right hand, desperate for a moment to breathe.
She was suffocating, her breaths becoming more difficult.
Her hands barely moved as she stared wide-eyed, her body losing strength from lack of oxygen.
Outside, Mark kept shouting.
But it was useless.
Marlon didn't calm down; he became even more frenzied.
"Grace, speak! Say something!"
Except for that initial cry for help, he hadn't heard Grace's voice again.
He was very worried, his head about to explode.
The hotel's door was very sturdy, and without a key, he couldn't open it alone.
Marlon knew this, which was why he acted so recklessly.
Fortunately, the key arrived.
Opening the door, Mark rushed in.
Seeing Grace being choked on the bed, motionless, Mark didn't hesitate and kicked Marlon in the face.
"Mark, I advise you to stay out of this. This is between Grace and me."
"I will get involved, you bastard."
Mark, furious, kicked Marlon in the face again.
Marlon was stunned. Mark had trained, and Marlon was no match for him.
Moreover, Marlon's body couldn't take the beating.
Mark grabbed Marlon, throwing him to the ground.
Marlon's head hit the table hard.
"Hurt." Marlon barely cried out before passing out.
Mark immediately checked on Grace.
"Grace," Mark called out anxiously.
Regaining her breath, Grace took deep breaths.
She could hear him, but she couldn't react.
Until Linda rushed in and hugged her, "Grace, say something. Talk to me."
"Don't scare me."
Linda lightly patted her face, shouting excitedly.
Finally, Grace hugged her tightly, crying out loud.
"Linda, you're finally here."
"I thought I was going to die!"
